Peperomia prostrata – String of Turtles Plant

Peperomia prostrata key features

Peperomia prostrata, also known as String of Turtles, is a compact trailing plant with small, round leaves marked by intricate turtle-shell patterns. It grows up to 30 cm long, making it ideal for terrariums, hanging baskets, and small pots. This slow-growing, low-maintenance plant is non-toxic to pets and people, and thrives in bright, indirect light, adding a unique texture to indoor plant collections.

Peperomia prostrata care

Peperomia prostrata thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a warm, humid environment. Use a well-draining potting mix and allow the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. During spring and summer, apply a diluted liquid fertiliser monthly. This plant grows well in shallow pots, hanging baskets, or terrariums, and needs only occasional pruning to remove dead or trailing stems.
